IOPC probes if protests shaped police response in Henry Nowak murder

Jun 27, 2026

GB News segment covers the IOPC's ongoing review into whether protests at a nearby asylum hotel may have biased Hampshire officers' response to Henry Nowak's fatal stabbing on December 3, 2025. Bodycam audio shows officers dismissing Nowak's claims of being stabbed after the suspect falsely alleged racism, handcuffing the dying victim instead of providing immediate aid. The broadcast features analysis from security expert Henry Bolton and panelists discussing police impartiality since the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act, unconscious bias training, and potential 'two-tier policing.' It references migrant hotel protests as context and questions whether special interest groups have skewed police priorities. IOPC statements confirm the investigation focuses on handcuffs and first aid, with officers as witnesses.
